Sequences that start on Mondays and Tuesdays are also going the way of the dodo bird. I am very senior in seat and I have seen my QOL go down even though my seniority has skyrocketed the last 2 years.

That is some serious disparity.

I upgraded basically the first chance I could knowing the movement is so fast. Yes, my QOL has taken a hit but it had already been subpar. I used to work all 3 day trips and then that slid into all 4 days and partial weekends despite sitting less than 40% as an FO in base. Figured might as well make money and always fly with my favorite captain. It’s been nice to also talk to the FO about having kids my kids age instead of him having grandkids my kids age. You can also make the time you need, especially on reserve, for important life events.

Just hit my 8 month review. Through March, I am still at 99%. I'll be at 98% next month - forecasting 95% by June.
Still too junior at DFW to hold long call or a line.
If movement is what your looking for- pick a different base.
